It’s always fun to look back at what you’ve read and the person you were when you read it. I might even go back into other books so I can highlight those quotes I’ve already dogeared. I love highlighting quotes and dogearing passages. You get to read about the first time you read a book or look back at something you thought was incredible. I think this is the loveliest part of annotating your books. You get to keep real memories of your time reading this book. However, I think I draw the line at illustrating and drawing fully into my books. I know that this isn’t everyone’s forte, but I’ve weighed them all and love spending time writing notes in the margins and using all the sticky notes I can find. So I put together a little list of Pros and Cons with annotating books. If many of your moments are between the pages of a book, then why not scrapbook those pages as well? I mean, I’ve seen whole bibles studded with annotations and illustrations like a personal sketchbook. You create these beautiful pages to remember moments in your life. Why? Because you’re including your own thoughts and feelings throughout the book. If anything, it seems like a way to interact with your reads and make you even more invested in the story.
I won’t say what because it’s pretty gruesome and I now have books in little plastic baggies because of it.īut dogearing or even annotating your books doesn’t seem like a crime. I’ve done many things to books that people in the reading world should never hear about. To me, this doesn’t seem like an offense. I got a few responses from folks who (with figurative tears in their eyes) were upset with me for folding over the page of a book. A couple of weeks ago, I pictured a dogeared page on my Bookstagram and people were up in arms.
